        <h1>OLAP &amp; Analysis for Web Applications</h1>
        <p>
            Welcome to your xmla4js homepage!
        </p>
        <p>
            Xmla4js is a standalone cross-browser javascript library that provides basic 
            <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_for_Analysis" target="wp">XML for Analysis</a> 
            (XML/A) capabilities, allowing webdevelopers to access data and metadata from 
            <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OLAP" target="wp">OLAP</a> providers 
            for use in rich web applications.
        </p>
        <p>
            XML/A is an industry standard for communicating with OLAP servers. 
            It defines a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOAP" target="wp">SOAP</a> webservice 
            that allows clients to obtain metadata and to execute OLAP queries using the
            <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multidimensional_Expressions" target="wp">multi-dimensional expressions</a> 
            (MDX) language using HTTP as the underlying transport protocol.
